Chapter 142 A Total Mess
Late at night, in the City Maternity Hospital of X City. Frankie's mother sits next to Jessica's bed, crying.
"How can I not be sad for losing my grandson? You can't blame me for beating her, and I don't regret for what I did. I hate her. After her father died, we did our best to help her family. Unexpectedly, her mother took drug. Now she turns a blind eye to what we have done and bites the hand that feeds her..."
"Well, mom, it has nothing to with what has happened today. Stop talking anything about Jenny's family again."
Frankie interrupts his mother impatiently.
Frankie's mother stares at him tearfully, "of course it has anything to do with this matter. If she was willing to marry you and have your baby, things would be totally different now. You have asked me not to give her a hard time and promised me to get married and have baby early. Now it's all gone. She is jealous of our happiness and destroys it. Alas!"
Thinking of what the doctor said about Jessica's inability to have another baby, Frankie's mother is more worried. She looks at the sleeping woman in the bed, stands up and pulls Frankie aside, "Frankie, is Jessica really infertile?"
"Seriously? It's not the right time to talk about this."
"You guys haven't got marriage certificate yet. If you marry her, everything would be cut-and-dried. Think it twice. Anyway, we can make a good compensation to Jessica."
"Mom..." Frankie is shocked and can't believe it, "are you joking?"
“Kid, I am serious. Jessica can't have a baby anymore, and our family can't accept that. If Jenny was willing to have your baby before, she would have been your wife. Anyway, I always say that your wife should be someone who can have your children. And Jessica certainly can't"
"Mom, are you crazy? I am not that kind of person!"
"If you're my son, you must listen to me. We'll make up for it."
Frankie is mad, and vents today's anger on his mom. He raises his voice and ask, "if you didn't force me to have a baby, I wouldn't have got anxious and broke up with Jenny, and everything today wouldn't have happened. Now you find that Jessica can't have children and force me to break up with her. How many times will you be satisfied by doing the same thing. Are you not afraid that it's retribution?"
"Are you blaming me?" Frankie's mother's face changes and looks at her son in disbelief.
"..."
Frankie frowns and doesn't not what to say for a moment.
"I am doing this for your own good. How can you blame me for a woman."
Frankie is nervous when he saw his mother is in tears. He has never talked to his mother like this before, let alone argument. He turns his head, frowns and ponders for a long time, "mom, it is not what I mean.."
"Do what you like. I don't care..." Frankie's mother is angry. She turns, slams the door and leaves, making a loud noise.
Frankie is stunned at first, and then he hammers the wall furiously, and his face gradually becomes tired.
On the bed, Jessica's eyelids flutter. She closes her mouth tightly, grits her teeth, and looks gloomy.
The next morning, a flood of news occupies the headlines of entertainment sections of media.
"Jessica's best friend steals her fiance."
"The best actress was framed by a C-list star which resulted in her miscarriage."
"Watch out for your best friend! Uncover the story between Jessica and a C-list star."
There are numerous these kinds of headlines to catch the public's eyes.
But at the same time, there is another version.
"Childhood sweethearts eventually become strangers."
"Jessica takes drama into her life."
"Real pregnancy or false abortion? The old trick of marrying into the purple."
In particular, the article of the last headline has the highest click rate which has much browsers than others.
People's opinions are polarized.
In the Public Relations Department of Jade Pictures.
"Shawn, I've contacted them, but they won't delete it."
"Call others! It is no use to complain to me," Shawn looks up from the phone, glances at the salesman, and then answers the phone,
"I'm sorry, we can't reach Jenny right now. So we can't respond."
"Sorry, we have nothing to say."
"Sorry, you have the wrong number."
Shawn is bombarded by different calls. She turns off the phone in anger, throws it on the table and says, "reports now are all pushovers. Do they have brain?"
Seeing Shawn is angry, Cecelia dares not to say anything.
It happened right under her nose and she is ready to be fired.
"What about the video? I want the footage."
Shawn yells in the PR office.
The salesman puts down the phone and answers weakly, "the staff of the show refused to give it. He said that the show had not been broadcast. If he gave it to me, the show would be spoiled. They..." "What the hell! It is emergency now. How could they... Give me the phone..."
Shawn grabs the phone and says, "hello Director Li, it's me. Yes, I'm Shawn..."
"
"Can you please give it to me. You see, it now develops in a big way. If you don't show the public the video, Jenny's reputation would be bad."
"Next month? No! In next month, things will be cut-and-dried and no one would like to listen to our explanation at that time. No matter what we say, no one will trust us. I believe that you understand my difficulty... Hello? Director Li..."
"Shit. Damn it." Shawn throws the phone and says dirty words in a rage, "they pretend to be nice to us when nothing happens, and now they show their true color."
Mimi from the office runs over with her mobile phone and pops her head up in the public relations department, "something happens..."
Cecelia, who is closest to the door of the office, stands up immediately and asks, "What has happened?"
"A few of Jessica's friends tweeted to support her. It seems that they are going to bad-mouth Jenny."
Hearing this, Cecelia is so worried that she catches a glimpse of Shawn, who is about to be burned up, and pulls Mimi out of the office quickly.
"You can't talk about it in front of Shawn now. Mimi, do you want to see me die?"
Mimi laughs, "I am on your side, okay? Jenny helped me before. I'm going to repay her."
"Do you have any idea?" Cecelia looks at Mimi with round eyes.[
